Good one! I don't think that I could have made that up if I tried. I'm a generally trust the local news (with a dose of skepticism) but when a blatant error such as this appears for something I know about it makes me wonder about the stories in the news I don't know anything about. One of my favorites are the stories about corn and the video is of wheat. ------------- Part time farming with a 1980 7060 and 1984 F3 hydro. |

Isn't that a spark ignition engine in that D17? ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Kinda reminds me of what I do to reporters/photographers. They ask me a question, and I point out the mayor of a town that has no mayor, and say ask him... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

| when I worked for an Allis dealer, I had to put an ad in the local newspaper for something Allis related, I wanted a pic of an Allis in the ad, they put a pic of a tractor in it, but it was a deere tractor! i raised all kinds of goober to them! they all thought a tractor was a tractor and all looked the same! they got a lesson that day! |
